- Nigerian rapper Vector has expressed his puzzlement at the widespread support from many Nigerians and Africans towards the US presidential elections.
- Vector has spoken out about his confusion on November 6, 2024, when he questioned why some Africans are showing solidarity with election processes in countries that seemingly use and exploit them for personal gain.
In the context of the ongoing US presidential elections, Nigerian rapper Vector has shared his bewilderment regarding the widespread solidarity towards the electoral processes of other nations, particularly among his fellow Nigerians and Africans.
In a recent social media post, Vector openly voiced his confusion, saying: “I’ll never understand Nigerians/Africans who show some form of solidarity with the election process in nations that exploit us all for a living.” His statement sparked a flood of responses from users sharing their diverse perspectives.
Some users argued that Nigerians and Africans are attracted to the American elections due to the potential global implications of the outcome, which can impact energy prices and overall global peace. Others appreciated the freedom and democratic ideals that the US presidential election represents.
In response, Vector emphasized the irony of people focusing on foreign political systems while neglecting pressing issues within their own country, saying: “The beauty about all the ignorance is, after the posts, they will return to the reality of their actions and beliefs. They will stifle the growth of their own land and selves by their thinking.”
Despite this, some users dismissed Vector’s concerns, stating that everyone should be allowed to express their opinions, solidarity or not. However, Vector countered by pointing out that acknowledging past mistakes and learning from them is essential for personal and national growth.
